The year is 2040 and this is a good year. Another great war is behind us, half the world was included and now there is peace and the reconstruction of our time.
Many people have lost their lives, many children have been minimized and many plants have been destroyed.
Now we have a time in which people stick together (again), do everything together, show off something great together: community life!

Small and large work together as best they can, it is no longer about envy, exclusion, the color of a person does not matter, the size, the appearance ..., it is only about the person himself, about his person and his respective importance.

There is no more homelessness, hardly any violence because everything is accessible.

Everyone helps as much as they can.

Children go to school, people work wherever they need to.

Capitalism died in the war. Everyone has living space, in fact there is now more living space than people. There are balcony herbs everywhere, everyone has planted beds, even at home in mini-greenhouses. All the neighbors help each other.

Cabs are accessible for short distances, buses too, because tickets are free. Everyone is educated. Illiteracy is slowly disappearing. Former prisons have created an ideal resocialization with more free space. The brutality is gone. Everyone has everything they need. Goods are no longer in abundance, they are accessible to all, for general use and rent.

Eine grüne Zukunft
The most important thing is to protect and preserve the climate. It is essential that we do everything we can to save the climate. In 2040, this has already been achieved to a large extent. Once it was recognized that the climate catastrophe is life-threatening for everyone, measures were taken to counteract it. Sustainable drives, a sustainable economy and a greener world overall have been implemented to minimize the damage that already exists. Governments have realized that climate protection can only be enforced through bans on companies and have done so despite lobbying. Ordinary people have been given tax relief in other areas so that they have not been hit by the concentrated force of financing environmental protection measures. The inner cities are almost car-free, people can get around easily by bike or on foot and relax because they no longer have to watch out for cars. The air quality has improved, allowing people to breathe more freely.

Kādu nākotni es vēlos
I would like to see a much more organised road infrastructure in my city, Riga, as well as transport. I think we should also work on improving living conditions and raising wages. One of the most pressing problems is the threat of war, so another thing I would like is for this situation not to go to war and for there to be full confidence in security.

Things should definitely be more peaceful in 2040. Palestine could have its own state, Kurdistan too and Russia has a new leader who is pro-European. Taiwan is still autonomous and independent of China. Europe has moved even closer together and speaks with one voice. IS no longer exists.

Zurück auf Start
Europe of the future should be a continent free of people. Primeval forests and wild animals will cover the continent as they did in the past. Hopefully at some point all the remains of inglorious humanity will have rotted away. Then the planet will find peace again, provided that humanity quickly eliminates itself, Covid19 didn't work, it's also tough with the war, but it will work out eventually. Important prerequisites such as self-centeredness, stupidity and arrogance have already been met.
